so, you know, i don't think we ought to be about putting big government in the middle of what are obviously state decisions. and i will fight to have federal mandate not included in something like that. >> you would support, though, oklahoma having a law? as you said, smeen places in oklahoma may not need it. >> if, in fact, oklahoma looks at it and based on the risk patterns and damage in the past and the cost benefit analysis i would leave that up to the state legislature and the government in oklahoma. >> i guess i'm just, you know, thinking on it from an emotional point of view, a human point of view. if the state of oklahoma decides not to mandate it and schools don't have it and there are ten children that die next year in a tornado because there wasn't a shelter or people think that could be a reason, isn't that unacceptable? >> well, yeah. but you're setting up all this what ifs. you know, it's kind of like homeland security, erin. there is no way we spend enough money to protect everybody from every risk in terms of homeland security.
